[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3942619, member: 14646"] That's a good idea. Was going to mention this earlier. I took a small handful of pocket change with varied coins in it and thew them blindly out in my yard with the grass a bit longer than it should have been. Ran the AT Pro over it to see what the various coins sounded like. Also, a stupid mistake I made my first time out was this. I'm right handed so used the hand held propointer in my right had because that is my strong side. As I dug a hole with my digging tool with my right had I'd set it down and pick up the pointer. Grab a clump full of dirt with my left hand and the pointer would scream. Took me more than a few minutes to realize the pointer was screaming at my wedding ring on me left ring finger. Felt like an idiot. ALso, I got my dectector package through Big Boy Hobbies out of Norman. Bought on line and the customer service was great. Not sure how they are in person but may be a good idea to give them a shot and see what used gear they have in stock, etc. [/QUOTE]
